So, I tried reading Finnegans Wake, but it just seems pointless. Are the other two worth trying? I wanna find out if I'm ready to exit /lit/ once and for all

I got about 50 pages into What Maisie Knew and was extremely bored. I just moved on to other books. Is Henry James just not for me or did I not give him enough of a chance? The prose was just not sinking in for me and there is so much that I want to read that I sort of felt like I was wasting my time.

Just how the fuck are Henry James and JD Salinger exit level? They are entry level.

Henry James is a refined pleasure for an erudite few. You'll know when you're ready for him

You're right, don't listen to him. James is (for good reason, mind you) entry level English undergrad material.
